Chapter 6. The Crane and the Crow

Okay I do not and I repeat I do not own SH or any of the characters other then Selena

Selena was brushing her long black hair while she sat on her bed deep in thought thinking of Ichabod and the Crow. Hearing a knock Katrina had entered Selena's room holding from what Selena could see was a bible. "Here", handing Selena the bible.

"Katrina what is this for?", looking at the old weathered book in her hand putting her hair brush down. "Step mother was suppose to give it to Constable Crane but I told her I would take it so I got it to give it to you", giggling again with joy.

"You should go to his room and give it to him", trying to hold in her giggling but was having hard time doing so. "Oh Katrina..what are you up to?", shaking her head knowing fully well what Katrina was up to. "Oh please Selena I have seen the way you look at him, I will not lie he is attractive but I think it is better that you give him that book".

Selena sighed deeply but deep in the pit of her stomach she felt excited and nervous. Slowly she stood up took a quick glance in the mirror at her appearance as her sister laughed. Selena gave Katrina a dirty look but left the room book in hand.

She had found his room and knocked on the door. "Yes, yes do come in", working hard looking through different papers. "Just put it over by the reading stand". (Okay to everybody reading this story this was actually suppose to happen in the movie, where Katrina drops the bible off at Ichabods room, so everything that goes on here not my idea all the way. Some things are changed but mostly this was part of the script!! ENJOY) Selena put the bible down just as he had asked. He had still not noticed her at all.

"That will be all-no wait, tell me about this big brute who seems to be Miss Selena's......as he turned around in his seat to see Selena standing before his smiling slightly.

Ichabod had seem to have a minor convulsion as he stood up quickly knocking things off of his table as papers flew everywhere. "I'm....I'm sorry......I asked Sarah to bring me...."

"So your clever books have failed you and you turn to the bible after all", as she stared at him finding amusement in this. Unlike her Ichabod did not, "I see that I am talked about downstairs", saying sharply to Selena.

"In passing only, we have many things to talk about even in this backward place", she sighed knowing that Katrina was probably listening on them waiting for something to happen. "I am sorry....Please excuse my manner I am not use to....

"Female company?", looking once again amused. "Society" answering back looking embarrassed. (Okay if I continued writing on like they had in the script on this part it would make Selena like Katrina so I don't want to so the rest of this part I made up) "Ahhh...I see Mr. Crane but I would think you grew up in society since you live in New York. The Opera's, the museums and the parties. Do you not go?"

Ichabod shook his head. "Well then you have nothing to tell me about really that would least spark my interest", deciding to leave but wanting to stay to just look at him. (Okay yeah I gotta stop doing this, that was pretty much how I wanted her to react but now that I continue again it will turn to the script yet again. LOL sorry just wanting to prove a point)

"Perhaps I have. Do you believe the Van Garrets and Widow Winship were murdered by the headless horseman?"

Selena shook her head, "Some people do not believe it was the horseman". "Thank you god", Ichabod thought. Some sane mind in this town. "Good", he sighed exasperated but his happy bubble was popped. "Some believe it is the wicked witch of the Western Woods who had made a pact with Lucifer", knowing deep down that the Crow would do no such thing but she wanted to see his reaction.

"There are no witches, or galloping ghost either! Is everyone in this village in thrall to superstition?", he said exasperated not believing that a town like this could exist.

"Why are you so afraid of magic? Not all magic is black. There are ancient truths in these woods which have been forgotten in your city parks".

"If they are truths they are not magic, and if magic not truth". (okay truthfully people I have no clue why he said this cause I have no clue what it means but I'm following it by the script, LOL crazy yes)

Selena became angered with what Ichabod said, "Then you are foolish. When there is a fever in the house, it is well known that willow herb root and crow's foot must be boiled in the milk of a pure uttered goat with special charms over the fire and the fever reduces".

Selena remembered that potion that her mother gave her and Katrina whenever they were ill and they were always cured. "Next time try the herb with everything else and now if you will excuse me.....", as he began picking up the papers from the floor.

"Gladly, turning around angerly, I should not have interrupted out town's savior. Goodnight. Oh about that large brute he had proposed to me.......

"I....I.....I am happy.....", as Ichabod felt his heart break and felt a great sadness take over even though he barely knew this woman. "He has proposed to me several times but I do not find a interest in him like my sister", turning around and leaving Ichabod standing their embarrassed yet again. As Selena left she smiled to herself.

"You can come out Katrina", as Katrina stepped out of a closet near Ichabods room. "Was there romance? Passion? Love making?", giggling and being desperate. Selena only laughed, "Oh Katrina you are too funny no their was a argument".

"Oh dear", Katrian mumbled. Selena smiled once again, "It was an argument filled with passion to the brink of spilling". Katrina just grinned and skipped to her room. Selena smiled also. "Now it is time to visit a good friend".
